Other parish royalty will also grace the streets of Des Allemands on Sunday. Catfish Festival queens and the Hahnville High School homecoming queen will ride in the parade and greet their subjects.

Full of unique flair and fun, each float in the Des Allemands parade has its own festive name, from the Krewe of Mixed Nuts and Easy Riders to Party Animals and the Krewe of Outcasts.

It’s not too late to add your quirky group to the line-up. Floats can join the krewe at $300 each and there is no charge for marching groups or specialty queens. Those interested in joining the parade this weekend can call Folse at (504)952-4889.

Folse said she hopes this year’s turnout will be as good, if not better than past years. She is hopeful for nice weather, with sunny 60-degree weather predicted for this Sunday.

The parade will begin on Whitley Road, travel up to Highway 90, turn into the town’s business district, head down De Jean St. towards Old Spanish Trail and then back up Lorraine Drive to the highway.

Rescuers save drowning driver in Killona - 4239 views
Emily Charles, 21, had begun to drive herself and five longtime friends from a Luling hotel to Southern California on Feb. 18 when she rear-ended a vehicle and lost control of her SUV at the intersection of Louisiana highways 3127 and 3142 near Dow Chemical Co. in Killona. Charles hit the brakes, but could not avoid clipping the back of the car.
“After that, I don’t even know what happened. We must have flipped,” Charles said.
